MANY TO SEE
GRADUATION
TENTH TIME
Old-timers Will Recall First
Rose Bowl Ceremony
Decade Ago
— - ♦ —
PARK IS FORMER SCENE
Miss Ida E. Hawes Has Had
Charge of All Outdoor
Spectacles
Although many will view the
Pasadena junior college-Muir Tech
commencement exercises for the
first time this year, others will re¬
call the 10 previous years when
this spectacle has been portrayed
in the Rose Bowl.
Before the genesis of the sta¬
dium panorama, graduation was
first performed in the local aud¬
itorium and later, during the years
1920, '21, and ’22, at Tournament
Park. All the out-door programs
have been and are now under the
direction of Miss Ida E. Hawes,
dean of guidance.
Pictures Garden
The first impressive ceremony
occurring in the Rose Bowl in 1923
pictured a garden scene, and the
following year Madame Schuman-
Heink, well-known contralto, ap¬
peared on a Dutch theme program.
To celebrate the close of Pasa¬
dena’s fiftieth school year, the
1925 educational season terminat¬
ed with a suitable performance,
while the next year’s graduation
related in pageant form the hist¬
ory of the flag, 150 years after
the first American standard was
made by Betsy Ross.
Panoramas
“Springtime and Youth” with
the assistance of the Los Angeles
Women’s Symphony Orchestra;
“America’s Opportunity,” a peace
progress celebration of the first
Armistice, with Donald Novis sing¬
ing; and “Broader Patriotism” are
the successive spectacles which
pass before the mind.
Using Charles Wakefield Cad-
man’s music almost entirely,
“Dreams of Youth” was the port¬
rayal in honor of the outgoing
students at the end of the 1930
school year.
But a multitude will remember
last year’s “Trail Makers,” de¬
picting the four stages of life,
childhood, youth, maturity, and
old age, will look forward to
“World Friendship” to be staged
this year, and anticipate the pag¬
eants to come in the future.
DELTA PSI
Outstanding events of Delta Psi
Omega for the past year have
been a one-act play contest, which
was won by Dorothy Waterhouse
with “Green Jade,” and the enter¬
taining of the Southern California
Federation of drama students.

What talisman does the art
department use to get two of
everything?
When Joe Wallace and James
Sherman both won scholarships
to the Art Center school, they
were only carrying out the ex¬
ample set by the others. John
Ehlen and Archie Wedemeyer
are vice-president of the Paci¬
fic Arts association and presi¬
dent of thia Art Teachers asso¬
ciation of Southern California,
respectively.
Also Vardon Going won first
and second places in the photo¬

Christmas poster competition,
and Frances Baxter had two oil

last fall.
CARDS FINISH
IN 2ND SPOT
— ♦ —
San Diego, Alhambra Losses
Break Win Column of
Lower Division
Not contented with a win over
the Cardinals the season before,
when they defeated the locals to
take the Coast league slugging
title, the knights of the Gray Cas¬
tle returned with one of the best
teams ever seen in the prep loop
and routed the Bulldogs’ chance
for a title. Coach Dunn’s men got
no farther than second in the final
tabulation.
Despite the setback of losing
their first league contest, the Bull¬
dogs staged a classy comeback and
scalped the Fullerton Indians, 5-3.
The stick work of Summers and
Ross in this game was one of the
highlights.
Scoring Orgy
The next game was a wild orgy
of swat, both teams scoring in
rapid succession. After nine in¬
nings, in which home runs were
combined with two and three-bag
hits, the Cardinals won the en¬
counter, 15 to 8.
A single, double, and triple off
the bat of Lloyd Summers paved
the way to a victory over the
Glendale Dynamiters. Try as they
might, the Blasters were only able
to touch Jake Means for four hits.
In addition to his remarkable
pitching, Means cracked out a hit
in the seventh inning, which might
have gone for four bags had it not
hit the football goalpost in left
center field.
Cards Win
Long Beach, long rival of the
red and white, was next in line for
the Bulldogs. After nine innings
of real ball playing the local squad
won the contest, 3-0.
Alhambra reached into its bag
of tricks in the following encoun¬
ter and pulled out 10 runs to nose
out the Dunnmen, 10 to 8. This
game put the cap on lower division
activities for the year.

Ultimatum
Hopeful Entrants
Must Suffer Soon
To enter U. S. C., all students
must suffer through the aptitude
test next Satrday afternoon on the
Trojan campus, tomorrow being
the last chance to get admission
permits and to pay the 3-dollar fee
required.
Those who succeed in passing
the ordeal will be entertained
from September 6 to 13, the week
dedicated to incoming freshmen.
Aspiring engineers will welcome
the news that Cal Tech entrance)
examinations have been postponed
until next fall when students will
be tested in chemistry and physics
September 9 and in math and)
English the following day.
“Not before the office can check,
file, and enter on permanent re¬
cords the 26,000 grade slips of the
graduates will transcripts be sent
to other schools,” John A. Ander¬
son, dean of records, revealed.
The demand for transfers is so
great this year that reports can
not possibly be mailed until the
early days of July, he continued,
but if students are impatient, they
should take their report cards to
window one of the records office
where copies can be made and in¬
formation be completed sooner.
Mr. Anderson added the consol¬
ing thought that colleges under¬
stand the problems of secondary
schools and do not expect records
early.
E.C. Lueder’s
Class Makes
Translation
—f —
Delving into large volumes
and pouring over mysterious
books, medical students of E.
C. Lueder’s advance course in
scientific German have trans¬
lated completely a monograph
on symbiosis, or communal life
in the animal kingdom, written
by Professor O. Hertwig, prom-
. inent German zoologist of the
University of Jena.
Student-aides-de-camp who par¬
ticipated in this project are: Ar¬
nold Bode, Margaret Dalton, Nancy
Dickinson, Sydney K. Edwards,
Elizabeth Hobson, Stanley Lewis,
Jackson Norwood, Lewis Peters,
and Philander Powers.
Besides being accepted as a
class activity, this scientific
translation may prove a valu¬
able aid to R. R. Hays, of the
biology department, who is pre¬
paring a research article on
hermit crabs and other marine
life.
The publication is a reprint of a
lecture read by Dr. Hertwig at the
fifty-sixth meeting of German
natural scientist^ and surgeons at
Freiburg.

GRADS ELBOW
FOR ‘CAMPUS’
Shove Lowly Under-classmen
To One Side in Annual
Scramble
To make the 1932 Campus a
visual as well as a modern
literary achievement has been
(he objective of its creators.
During the year the staff
and their advisers have worked
many school hours as well as
Saturdays and vacations in or¬
der to realize this ideal. That
this has been achieved is well
displayed in the book.

partment head.
Lordly Seniors and Sophomores
elbowed and shoved lowly non¬
graduates, Class Day, in a des¬
perate effort to retrieve a new
1932 “Campus” from the scramble.
This modem volume, attired in
a new cover of black, linen-finished
Cabricoid, with a seal in grey and
white, contains several new attrac¬
tions which are: the omission of
a humor section, the addition of
an index of the graduates, and the
stress of the more essential activi¬
ties of each department.
Adviser Lp&ves
Upon the receipt of a leave of
absence the second semester, Glenn
L. Lembke, first term head, was
replaced by Miss Mary O. Sullivan,
who undertook this task in addi¬
tion to the art advisership. Mrs.
Helen M. Stone, editorial, and Miss
Grace Wickham were the other su¬
pervisors.
Using a new system of editor¬
ship, there were four students su¬
perintending the volume: Inez
Effinger, editor - in - chief ; Fern
Hulka, assistant editor; Jack Wor-
mell, art editor; and Wesley
Daley, business manager.

IMPROMPTU FINAL EXAM HALTS
WORKOUT ON ATHLETIC FIELD
— ■ 4 -
Coach Calls Fellows Together for Gabfest;
Blame Rushing Tactics and ‘ Hot-cha ’
Magazines for Sport Downfall
- + -
Unsurpassed in method and pui-pose, one of the best final
exams ever devised was held one morning- last week on the
athletic field. After sending the students of the cinderpath
through their paces for a brisk 40-minute workout, the coach
called a halt.
“Fellows,” he began, “why all this lack of interest in
athletics?” His face, tanned to* - - -
leather from days of Southern ex¬
posure, a hard-earned testimonial
of coaching, helping, demonstrat¬
ing was grim and silent and
thoughtful.
“It’s the clubs,” someone sug¬
gested, “they rush a big-shot
freshie before he knows what the
score is and then turn him into a
social lion or a tiger lily!”
Gone *Hot-cha'
"Blame ‘Ballyhoo,’ ” threw in
another. The rising sun beamed
warm upon the friendly grass.
The fellows nodded in mutual un¬
derstanding. “That pansy maga¬
zine’s got everybody thinking they
want to stand around the halls
like a bunch of hot-chas!”
“The sun spots may have some¬
thing to do with it,” offered a
brawny theorist, “Every 11.2 years
. . . something like the business
cycle.”
Women’s Fault
“What I want to know is this :
why do powder puffs park by the
curb with their lady pals waiting
for the basketball dance to start?
Why don’t they go in and watch
the game? Worse yet, what do
the wimmen see in them sofa
dwellers?”
“They ought to paint the front
porch every period to keep the
‘step sisters’ away!”
The bell rang.
Why the lack of interest in
athletics? What’s the answer?
Grad Drops
‘Mrs. ’ to Be
One of Gang
Because she “wanted to be 'one
of the gang’ and ask the same
dumb questions they did,” Mrs.
Sidney A. Jones, wife of the chief
electrical engineer at Mt. Wilson
observatory and P. J. C. June
graduate, chopped the Mrs. from
her name and has been attending
school here for the past two years
as plain Mary Jones.
By so concealing her true status,
Mrs. Jones has been able to get
the same education as the ordinary
student, since she was granted no
special dispensations because of
her age or the fact that she is the
mother of two children.
But very evidently Mrs. Jones
was not in need of special dispen¬
sation for her scholarship record
reads all A’s and B’s with a maj¬
ority of the higher marks.
Besides maintaining above-aver¬
age grades, Mrs. Jones has had
poems printed in “Litera,” "Schol¬
ar and Clown,” and “First the
Blade.” She plans to continue her
education at U. C. L. A.
Local Team Places
Fourth in Contest
Placing fourth in the Eighteenth
Annual Chemistry Contest, the P.
J. C. team came out with a score
of 78.2 per cent at U. S. CL on
May 21, according to results re¬
ceived recently by G. W. Josten,
captain of the team. The highest
score made by Bulldog contestants
was 87.5 per cent by Florin Atke-
son.
Manual Arts high school of Los
Angeles received first place, while
Woodrow Wilson of Long Beach
and Long Beach Poly placed sec¬
ond and third.
U.D. MEN COP
3 AND LOSE 5
Lack of Returning Lettermen
Is Coach Thurman’s
Difficulty
- ♦ -
Showing spots of brilliancy be¬
tween mediocrity, Pasadena’s up¬
per division ball squad played an
in-and-out season this past year,
winning three games and dropping
five.
With but two lettermen back,
Coach John Thurman was faced
with the problem which troubled '
so many Pasadena coaches this
year of moulding a championship
contender from green material.
The Bulldogs were helped consid¬
erably by Lewis Brantley, from
the lower division, who was shifted
from his usual post in the outfield
to shortstop, where he proved ex¬
tremely valuable.
Ross Stars
Ted Ross, who was elected cap¬
tain in mid-season, proved one of
the outstanding outfielders in the
conference and was a dependable
hitter. In addition to Ross, the
other returning letterman was Bill
Ramsay, catcher, who was ably
backed by Roy Faddis.
As “Lefty” Hays went, so went
the team. Hays pitched four splen¬
did names, three of which he won.
After losing to Glendale in the
opener, Hays threw splendid ball
against Los Angeles, only to lose
3 to 0.
Against Compton he allowed but
three hits while the Bulldogs wero
garnering two runs to the Tartars'
nothing. Only one hit was gath¬
ered off Hays in seven innings by
Long Beach and two off Addy as
Pasadena dropped the Vikings 9
to 2. However, after a week’s
lay-off, the Thurmanmen went into
a slump and lost the next three
games to Glendale, Los Angeles,
and Compton.
Regain Form
In their last game, the Bulldogs
again regained their form to pound
Kennelly for seven hits and five
runs as Hays was limiting Long
Beach to a quintet of safeties and
shutting them out without a score.
In addition to Brantley in the
infield, were found Stanchfield,
first base; Gwynne, second, and
Stagno, third. Ross was aided in
the outfield by McClatchy in cen¬
ter and Williams in right, while
Itoyce and Shirar saw much action.
Trying Days
Face Lizards
Vacation spells doom for the
lizards of the science depart¬
ment, when all crawling ani¬
mals who have no sumra*
homes, must take their ranks in
the pickle jars of the: museum
room.
One of the special attractions
of a downtown hardware store
will be a cagje of all the live
snakes of the school. The man¬
ager has even promised to pre¬
serve the unfortunate reptile's
that die, according to Robert P.
Hayes, biology teacher.
Fish, turtles, and squirrels
ape boarded out during vaca¬
tion days but have to come back
to school next September.
